Rammstein is often doing a play on words which have a double meaning in german. Regarding to this song you can " listen/read " it in two ways. That " Du hast " would mean " You have ". But " Du hasst " ( with two s ) means " You hate ". But only when the whole sentence is sung, you realize the exact meaning. Because only singing " Du has(s)t " can mean both but once that whole sentence is sung: " Du hast mich gefragt... " ( meaning: " You have asked me..." ) the real meaning becomes clear. The false lead comes also by singing and repeating " Du has(s)t mich. " This sentence alone would mean " You hate me ". But following it with " Du hast mich.....gefragt " it changes towards " You have asked me..."
@FatevsFate I feel you. Explaining this sentence alone can turn into an essay or lecture. Not even mentioning the historical and sociological symbolism in the " Deutschland " video which even the majority of germans wont recognize. That would be a whole workshop 😉
When it comes to events happening like light show and stuff like that its Rammstein. When it comes to crowd its Queen When it comes to actual instruments and vocals its Dragonforce because almost everything you hear is literaly them on the stage singing or playing every background noice or vocal you hear.
Well, Electric Callboy got a british crowd to sing german Schlager :D czcams.com/video/vry5JW_sn6M/video.html (But yeah there were *far* more people singing along with Rammstein)
@@geewhiz5926 Well, there was also that little thing between germany and the UK ;). The whole "We shall fight on the beaches" was about german soldiers showing up... uninvited to the UK. (It's europe - we've been at war with each other for centuries. Sometimes even without a break in between...)
Don't ever forget. Rammstein is one of the biggest acts in Europe. Their live performances are unmatched. Multiple members have pyrotechnic licenses, so able to use those skills during live performances.
This song was my introduction to them. I remember seeing this one morning before school on MTV in 1998. I've been a fan ever since, and I can't wait to see them live.
Till( leadsinger) is a certified pyrotechnician and he is building those insane pyros in their shows 😄 Fun fact!! Those guys are about 60 years old and still rocking like hell 😄🥰🥰
He's also certifiably crazy. In the video for Ich Tu Dir Weh, he has this light effect in his mouth. I looked up how he was doing that, and as far as I could tell, the wire going to his cheek actually pierced his cheek for the tour so he could do that effect.
Till would have a collegue choose certain women out the audience and invite them backstage for a gangbang...by himself!! 🤣 My m8 was chosen at a Birmingham gig, said was cracking night! 🤟👏
I saw them on tour when I was 15 years old and they had just broken through here in the States on the back of this single. Just incredible with the pyrotechnics, fireworks flying everywhere. Lead singer had a dildo hanging out of his pants for most of the show and was shooting milk out onto the audience with it. Couldn't understand a word they said but the show was the most interesting one I have ever seen.
I rode a month long concert high after finally seeing them for the first time. I want a time machine just so I can go back and see concerts I never got a chance to see.
This video reaction made my day. It’s like the first time I heard it with the boys. Something you don’t actively listen to but when you hear it every couple years it gets you goin.
The song is a play on the closeness of 2 German words as others have mentioned. Du Hast and Du Hasst (You have and you hate) "You, you have (hate), you have (hate) me" Then it turns the song around when it is followed by "mich gefragt". Then you know it's "You have asked me". When he follows up with "und ich hab nichts gesagt" what means "And I said nothing". And the "Willst du bis der tod euch sheidet, treu ihr sein fur alle tage" (Will you be faithful to her all your days, till death do you part?). That last part is the text of the German wedding vows. Which ends by an angelic sounding woman's voice singing "Jaaaaa" (yes) then he shouts over it, "Nein" (No!) I am not a native German speaker so I hope I got the spellings and translations correct enough to be understood.
I got to see these guys live in NYC last fall and holy crap what a crazy live show haha. It’s like a fire circus set to an industrial metal soundtrack. Awesome haha.
Yeah I guessing you don’t have any clue what there live shows are like lol very sick, twisted and gross horrible live shows. What your talking about are there forced live shows where they are required to tone it down legally or face serious consequences.
I saw these guys lube once, and their performance was excellent! But honestly, no one puts on a better show than slipknot. I've seen them live almost 10 times and they keep getting better live somehow!
Loved how everyone’s head was banging after the first couple notes, haha. Really appreciate y’all showing Rammstein some love. Also, their Deutschland music video is a TRIP! It’s basically a montage of all German history: the good, the bad, and the truly horrific. All the band members-if I recall correctly-are from East Germany, and their love/hate relationship with Germany as a nation is communicated perfectly through that song. It’s worth a look.
I came here to say the exact same thing 😂 also, if you’re not that knowledgeable on symbolism and German history, there is a really amazing deep dive video that shows just how much of a masterpiece this music video is
I stopped watching after they weirdly had a black lady being a general or something, I'm also sick of feeling like I'm supposed to expect something about the N a z i s anytime Germany is brought up, we don't talk about the B o l s h e v i k leaders everytime someone mentions the "sweJ" despite them doing far worse to Europe
...and then the recently published 'Zeit' and 'Adieu' videos. You will also find official Rammstein videos of their sold out Madison Square Garden shows with thousands of your fellow Americans singing all German lyrics word for word.... Mind-blowing for me as a native German.... 🤘🏻🤯🤘🏻🎉
I got to see them last summer in Montreal at Jean Drapeau park. I highly recommend you check out some footage of their latest stage: the kit is almost 3 stories high, the lighting and pyrotechnics have been doubled and there's 4 giant, flame throwing torches set up around the floor with the crowd ( I stood right next to one ). I was a stage tech for 7 years and I've set up tons of shows, but I've never seen anything as beautiful as this massive rig in full action ❤🔥
This is one of my favorite songs, when this song came out back in the day I was like “yes thank you!” One more thing I wanna say is the way they captivate an audience is nothing short of spectacular. Imagine you’re that band on stage and this huge venue full of people and they’re all singing in unison and on key, I might add!
Rammstein's concerts are LEGENDARY for the effects due to the fact that band members are all well trained (even if not certified) in the use of pyrotechnics and electronica engineering. Due to this, mostly "hobby" for the members, they have worked with some of the best people in the business to create visuals that will blow your mind. NOBODY who has been to a concert has been disappointed.
I believe the singer either is or used to be a certified pyrotechnic. Ik he was. Dunno if he renews it or if that needs to be renewed haha. But yee. :D
Till is a certified pyrotechnician otherwise he would not be permitted to put on a spectacle as Paris or NY for example. Or do you think they let him fire a bazooka over thousands of concert goers heads?!
I am fluent in German, and in the beginning, I was afraid of Rammstein's music. Only after really opering up, and closely listening to their lyrics I realised, how deep, honest, and healing their music is.
It's pure love in that arena. No songs about killing or disrespect unless depictional. They might not look like it but rock/metal in general are the nicest people you will ever meet
1000% agree, kind and gentle free spirits. Living in LA I met a lot of metal band members, crew, sound engineers and their friends. Met at different random parties, or clubs like The Rainbow Room, where I was in the VIP access area in the kitchen and a terrace. I was actually formally introduced (by my friend) to Bret Michael's! I miss random LA life, it's a trip lol
I was watching today Rammstein's "Du hast" at the Moscow concert and started to think what the mayor Moscow of (or someone in his/her organization) was thinking when promoter of Rammstein said:" I have a team of Germans with some 40000 followers here in Moscow and they would like to use heavily flame throwers."
Im not German but Danish, but if i remember correct its kind of a word play as du hast mich, can or may mean '' you have me'' but it can also mean ''you hate me'' depending on the context.
@@Shifty51991 two different words. hast = haben = to have, hasst = hassen = to hate. nice video guys. Check out this young German artist Sing too czcams.com/video/hbjgjvgLzhg/video.html ✨
Du hast means „you have“ and „Du hasst“ (mind the double „s“) means „you hate“. The word „haben“ is used as auxiliary verb in 2nd case. Complete phrase in this song is „du hast mich gefragt“, which is „you have asked me“. It often gets confused and singer Till plays a lot with double meanings of words. Rammstein is a killer band!
A friend turned me onto Rammstein about 20ish years ago. I've been a fan ever since. You don't need to understand a word, to enjoy the feel of the music. Love it!
It helps when you do though, like most Germans they are multilingual and write their music in ways to make clever puns that make sense across multiple languages.
I first heard this song in my early 20's it was awesome back then and now I'm 50 and it's still awesome, possibly better. These guys put on an AMAZING show. You have to rock out to it!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘 this Video blows my mind every time I see it and never gets old.
Rammstein is one of the greatest live shows I've been to (multiple times) the amount of pyrotechnics they use is absolutely astounding and makes the whole experience that much more insane. the last time I saw them was a few years back in Detroit during December. The concert hall was freezing but by the time they were halfway through their first song it felt like 1000 degrees.
Best concert of my life. RAMMSTEIN in Chicago 2022 in the crowd. It was everything i had hoped for. Saw them again from the stands in LA a month or so later.
Best reaction ever!! RAMMSTEIN is probably the best live band in the world at the moment. Thank you brothers and best wishes from Steiermari in Austria! 👍👍😊
Been to two Rammstein events 10 years apart, both times absolutely fkin awesome, at the end of every show they put down their instruments, walk to the centre of the stage and line up, then they take a knee in front of the crowd and bow their heads to the people that support them. If you fancy doing another then review " Links "
The first lines of the song can have a double meaning; the phrases Du hast and Du hasst mean You have and You hate, respectively, but they are homophones (in the official German it means “you have”). The lyrics to "Du Hast" by Rammstein are from the point of view of an ex-lover who looks back on the relationship and asks the other if he would still be as faithful and devoted to his partner if they were still together. The chorus asks the question, "Will you stay with me 'till death do us part; will you stay true to me all the days of our lives?" The "Yes No" is essentially saying that the answer is "No", suggesting that the partner is not as faithful and loyal as they once claimed. The song is a reflection on relationships that ultimately fail and the sense of disappointment in love that comes from realizing that.
The keyboardist felt like he was kinda standing just there so he thought he might as well use that time to exercise. He can even control the speed of the treadmill.
Rammstein are doing lots of word plays in many of their songs. "Du hast" (with one s) means "you have". "Du hasst" (two s) means "you hate". "Du...du has(s)t...du has(s)t mich..." and then "Du hast mich gefragt....du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt" meaning" You asked me and I said nothing". The song is basically about the burden of a wedding vow and about how almost impossible it is for most people to actually stick to the promises included in such a vow. It's about the unwillingness to take on the burden of that vow and all the responsibilities that come with it. (That's my personal interpretation though)
Rammstein is arguably one of the best live bands in the world. They put on amazing pyrotechnics in their shows with amazing music. Check out more of them!
You guys, your face expressions are hilarious! 😂😂 I`m 55 years old and still headbangs to Rammstein! I have seen them live 1 time ( plans to see them again this year) and it was one of the best konserts I`ve seen, they are absolutely crazy!!! Recommend you to listen to SEHNSUCHT live in Berlin 1998. Also ICH TU DIR WEH, check out the video!. Two favorites among many! Rock on boys!! 🤘🤘🤘
I'm from Brazil. You're lucky to be able to see them perform live. One day... perhaps they will come down here. Or I'll fly to Germany to see them. I started to learn German because of them, Till is very easy to grasp, but baby steps...Deutsch ist verdammt schwer, aber ich werde es schaffen.
@@nixdorfbrazil you‘d be more than welcome here 🙌🏻 dein Deutsch klingt schon sehr gut, mach weiter so 👏🏻 I’ve heard from so many people that Rammstein inspired them to learn German, that’s also why they’re kind of viewed as ambassadors of the German language :) keep going, and greetings to Brazil 🇧🇷
even we germans are not 100% sure what they want to say. thats one point of the awesomenes of rammstein, great text writing. u have to read between the lines, there is a lot of interpretation!
Rammstein sold out Madison Square Garden within 30 minutes of ticket release when they toured America after a long break in the early 2000s. They moved to America as a band before and toured for a long time through the US states but got kind of tired of the stress (everything by bus iirc) and homesick so they went back to Germany became big here too and then I think it was the album "Völkerball" where they made a new tour in the US. Another thing to be amazed by: That in front of the band is a french crowd (french people are infamous for only talking with you in french) and the full place sings the German song with the band.
Man we gotta get y'all to a rock concert, they are absolutely insane. Music is music, and you could see how much all of you were rockin to this. I have seen Rammstein live overseas and they were NUQIN FUTS!!
Its hard to believe these guys have never heard of Rammstein?? They have sold over 10 Million albums worldwide, they are the single biggest band out of Germany - ever . This concert they are watching is in France, and you have thousands and thousands of French people chanting in German... That should give you some appreciation of how massive Rammstein is on the world stage.
I think the Scorpions have them beat. Most people know Eye of the Tiger and Rock you like a Hurricane. As for record sales Rammstein has sold 100 million not 10 million same as the Scorpions.
Rammstein is a little bigger act in Europe than in the US. Further, a band can sell *20* million albums worldwide while selling not a single one in the US -- something to do with more people living outside the US than in the US.
I remember rocking out to Rammstein back in the late 90s. Many garage parties on the pool table contained this group being blasted on 10 12in speakers. Y'all should have rocked out on the album version.
Yes, The underground music scene was awesome back in the 90's. None of their music got airtime in USA but they damn sure got rocked at the after parties!
Seeing Rammstein live is a surreal experience. They rarely come to the US but I’ve seen them twice. Once in Florida and last year in Texas. There is so much pyro that the first time I saw them I started looking for the fire exits during the very first song. Serious. I have video from last year where there was so much smoke in the Alamodome you could only see about 5 rows ahead of you. People always say they look dirty or sweaty but they are actually covered in fire retardant gel and if you see them in concert you will know why. You don’t need to know German to see them, just do it for the experience if you have the chance.
I was able to see them in LA last fall. They play in open air stadiums because of the pyrotechnics. There was just so very much fire. It was awesome. I also think it's the only band where the keyboardist is crazier than the drummer. He spent most of the concert walking on a treadmill in a sparkly track suit while playing the keyboard.
Hello, I'm from Germany and RAMMSTEIN is a way of life, the music gets under your skin and has so many meanings that you always discover something new when you repeat it. I can only recommend the song "SONNE" to you, MEGA!
Saw them in concert a few years ago in Tampa, Florida. Best live performance I've ever seen. Look at some of their you tube videos. They are all different and very creative. I don't care what the words mean. Everyone gets the awesomeness.
In 1997 (at age 14) I went to one of their concerts in Ludwigshafen. Till sang "Ein Mensch brennt" (A human/person is burning), while literally being on fire (in a heat repellant suit) and being shoved through the crowd. It was insane.
The wedding vows are in these lines: "Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet, treu ihr sein, für alle Tage?" (Will you until death separates you both, be true to her for all days?" The backing choir says "Ja" (yes), but then Till says "Nein!" (no) Later in the song it changes a bit: Willst du bis zum Tod, der scheide, sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen?" As written, this means: "Will you until the death, which separates, love her even in bad days?" BUT - Nouns in German are capitalized, and if you write it this way: "Willst du bis zum Tod der Scheide...", the exact same words would become: "Will you until the death of the sheath/vagina, love her even in bad days?" English is a Germanic language, so there are a LOT of similarities in many words, and *some* of the basic grammar is still kinda similar. More complex sentences get more complex grammar. German and Old English/Anglo Saxon were much more similar, that's how far apart the languages have become. I learned German, but a lot of Asian languages are much tougher, as well as the Slavic languages (Polish, Russian, Hungarian, etc.)
We saw Rammstein play in Denver. He sang the entire first song on fire. He also had a flame thrower. It was intense,and probably one of the most memorable shows. ICE cube played too.
I saw this band live at the o2 in London UK in 2012. Literally was a life changing experience and was the starting point on my metal music journey. Now it's a big part of my life and I go to as many metal gigs and festivals I can. This band are very important to me ❤
I am 65 and have been going to concerts since 1973. I have seen many 100's of shows over the decades. Rammstein is THE BEST live show I have ever experienced! They don't tour the US often, or extensively...the first time I saw them at Chicago Open Air Fest (2016?), it was their one and only US show that year. I have seen them 3 more times since then and I am still blown away(😜) by their performances. If you ever get the opportunity to see them, don't hesitate...GO!🤘
by the way, you might know this song, because it was in the opening scene of the movie "triple X" by Vin Diesel . The Band playing while the first spy get shot IS Rammstein
EPIC. This is one of my favorite rock songs from an epic band. And as other people have mentioned, "Du Hast" is a play on German words. It's the same word for "you have" and "you hate" so he's teasing her (you have me, you hate me--so the opposite).
This is correct. But there is a little diffrent in spelling : you have = du hast and you hate = du hasst. It sound like the same. First you think he is singing :you hate. But he sings : you ask me
Funny thing, I have always been an insomniac, especially working on a night crew for several years, but I found, for a time, that Rammstein worked as lullaby music for me. I could put it on and be a sleep in about 2.5 songs. Unfortunately, I lived in an apartment at the time, and my neighbors complained. This was some nearly twenty years ago. But it still has a calming effect on me.
Rammstein is the best live band ever! Always use pyro in their shows. Saw a few times. Last summer their show was a blast and will see them again this summer. Also amazing song are: 'deutschland', 'radio', 'ich will', 'Sonne', 'zeit', 'angst',... The lyrics are fantastic, always have a meaning or message.
Rammstein was at 2010 the first and only german band that the Madison square garden sell out after 20 min. As a german it is so incredibel to see how good the crowed singing the text!
Rammstein is GOLD. Love how they have deeeeeep stories in the songs, not afraid to tell history as it is etc and double meanings. LOVE. Greetings from Finland
Fun fact: the song was also prominently featured in the movie How High. Method Man blast's the song out of a speaker while trying to get Red out of bed.
“You know tarintino?” “Nah” has kill bill on the wall right behind him 😂😂
Bless his heart
That's what I was calling out, over here... "Kill Bill, Kill Bill, turn around!!" 😂
They’re not bright
I swear I was yelling at my phone...
First thing I saw when they were talking about Tarantino.... "Look behind you at the poster".
Rammstein is often doing a play on words which have a double meaning in german. Regarding to this song you can " listen/read " it in two ways.
That " Du hast " would mean " You have ". But " Du hasst " ( with two s ) means " You hate ".
But only when the whole sentence is sung, you realize the exact meaning. Because only singing " Du has(s)t " can mean both but once that whole sentence is sung: " Du hast mich gefragt... " ( meaning: " You have asked me..." ) the real meaning becomes clear.
The false lead comes also by singing and repeating " Du has(s)t mich. " This sentence alone would mean " You hate me ". But following it with " Du hast mich.....gefragt " it changes towards " You have asked me..."
Thank you for that explanation!

Thanks
Thank you for beating me to it and saving me the trouble lol
I am readily willing to admit that I am stupid but I don't understand what you're saying as it relates to the overall lyrics/message...
My hubby and I used to crank this up on our Sunday drive..he's 70 and I'm 67....never too old!
I tip my hat to you and your husband.

Much respect
Nobody ever in the history of music has or will ever beat Rammstein in concert. Best show of all time
Queen did. Every time.
When it comes to events happening like light show and stuff like that its Rammstein.
When it comes to crowd its Queen
When it comes to actual instruments and vocals its Dragonforce because almost everything you hear is literaly them on the stage singing or playing every background noice or vocal you hear.

Beautiful
Respect, you got it 99,9% right (it's "scheidet"). Great job actually! 🙂
" Du Hast and Du Hasst (You have and you hate)"
As a dutch kid growing up with german tv this confused me for a good while.
One should not employ circular logic, yet if they do...maybe they should listen to Rammstein first. That is interesting.
Went to the Rammstein show last year, definitely the BEST live show PERIOD. Their special effects are seriously second to none!
Same!!
Yes I have seen a lot of amazing bands but no one puts on a show like Rammstein.
Almost burned down some speakers in San antonio, they turned off some pyrotechnics.

wonderful, some songs from Rammstein, absolut great. Einfach die Besten !
They have been the pinnacle of live metal production for awhile, every show is outstanding even if you cant understand what they sing.
Truly blown away by that production and how they execute the song. Always loved this song, but I had no idea their live show was this sick.

This was for sure the craziest concert I have EVER, I repeat… EVER been to. More please 🙏
Saw them last year.... sooooo good. Hope I get the chance to see them again.
Saw these guys back in 2003. Their concerts are an experience. I would put them in my top 3 live shows. It’s not just music, it’s an event
I saw them live in Roma. I loved the show which was an actual performance
They were kids in 2003. Stop joking!)
@@user-xy1vk6xp7g my bad. Just found my stub. It was 2005 at the Brixton academy. They were supported by apocalyptica. Now that’s another cool band
@@austinfallen sorry. I was trying to joke)
Best wishes, good vibes
@@user-xy1vk6xp7g no probs. I knew you were joking, but it got me reminiscing so I dug out my old ticket lol
This is one of my favorite songs, when this song came out back in the day I was like “yes thank you!” One more thing I wanna say is the way they captivate an audience is nothing short of spectacular. Imagine you’re that band on stage and this huge venue full of people and they’re all singing in unison and on key, I might add!
You have to see them live. There stage presence is beyond description. I'm 61 and hope to see them again before I leave this world.
I come across this band 12months ago and absolutely love them and I'm 61 tooo
Rammstein's concerts are LEGENDARY for the effects due to the fact that band members are all well trained (even if not certified) in the use of pyrotechnics and electronica engineering. Due to this, mostly "hobby" for the members, they have worked with some of the best people in the business to create visuals that will blow your mind. NOBODY who has been to a concert has been disappointed.
I believe the singer either is or used to be a certified pyrotechnic. Ik he was. Dunno if he renews it or if that needs to be renewed haha. But yee. :D
Till is a certified pyrotechnician otherwise he would not be permitted to put on a spectacle as Paris or NY for example. Or do you think they let him fire a bazooka over thousands of concert goers heads?!
we finally got to see them sept. 2022 with 34, 000 others. awesome.
I am fluent in German, and in the beginning, I was afraid of Rammstein's music. Only after really opering up, and closely listening to their lyrics I realised, how deep, honest, and healing their music is.
Du hattest Angst vor Rammstein's Musik? Hat sie dich attackiert? 😂😂
That is the beauty of the their music!
@@ratchet2007 Er Hast angst und ist allein? :)
Warum schreibst du dass dann auf Englisch?
@@spectralnighttraveldas....
Till speaks to his crowd without a single word, it's quite amazing. Wish I could see them live.
Love it when the heads all start going. 😆 Who can sit still to that driving intro!
It's pure love in that arena.
No songs about killing or disrespect unless depictional.
They might not look like it but rock/metal in general are the nicest people you will ever meet
True about Rammstein as well! I got to meet them for an interview back in the early 2000's. They were absolute sweethearts! 🙂
True, for instance I love some of the metal versions of In the hall of the mountain king. czcams.com/video/SGigthgbpDI/video.html
1000% agree, kind and gentle free spirits. Living in LA I met a lot of metal band members, crew, sound engineers and their friends. Met at different random parties, or clubs like The Rainbow Room, where I was in the VIP access area in the kitchen and a terrace. I was actually formally introduced (by my friend) to Bret Michael's! I miss random LA life, it's a trip lol
THANK YOU!! we all are but god forbid it "looks" off-putting >.>
I saw Rammstein Live last year. Their concerts are unreal! High energy, loads of pyro and great Metal music
I was watching today Rammstein's "Du hast" at the Moscow concert and started to think what the mayor Moscow of (or someone in his/her organization) was thinking when promoter of Rammstein said:" I have a team of Germans with some 40000 followers here in Moscow and they would like to use heavily flame throwers."
Seeing their reactions at the end was worth it. I think they were genuinely entertained.
I was at a Rammstein concert in Madrid and it was amazing! It's amazing to see them live! If you have the chance, you have to see them.🤘🤘
Im not German but Danish, but if i remember correct its kind of a word play as du hast mich, can or may mean '' you have me'' but it can also mean ''you hate me'' depending on the context.
Yes you are correct!
partly correct du hast and du haast (or hasst) are the two different phrases
@@Shifty51991 two different words. hast = haben = to have, hasst = hassen = to hate.
nice video guys. Check out this young German artist Sing too czcams.com/video/hbjgjvgLzhg/video.html ✨
It's two different words pronounced the same
Du hast means „you have“ and „Du hasst“ (mind the double „s“) means „you hate“. The word „haben“ is used as auxiliary verb in 2nd case. Complete phrase in this song is „du hast mich gefragt“, which is „you have asked me“.
It often gets confused and singer Till plays a lot with double meanings of words.
Rammstein is a killer band!
A friend turned me onto Rammstein about 20ish years ago. I've been a fan ever since. You don't need to understand a word, to enjoy the feel of the music. Love it!
Right, some of the best music is lyric-less or in another language!
It helps when you do though, like most Germans they are multilingual and write their music in ways to make clever puns that make sense across multiple languages.
Love this reaction!!!!!!!! You guys are awesome!!!
I first heard this song in my early 20's it was awesome back then and now I'm 50 and it's still awesome, possibly better. These guys put on an AMAZING show. You have to rock out to it!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘 this Video blows my mind every time I see it and never gets old.
Saw Rammstein live in Vegas with Korn opening for them. Truly the best live performance I have ever seen.
I was there, 100% agree! it was nuts. Also the vibe of everyone there was the coolest I have ever experienced at a concert
@@jasonmorgan27 It was hella cool. Anastasia Baranova from Z World walked by me as well. 😆
Omg You’re so lucky
I mean they made it in every way but imagine having KORN as an opening band
OH man that would have been amazing! Lucky :D
Rammstein is one of the greatest live shows I've been to (multiple times) the amount of pyrotechnics they use is absolutely astounding and makes the whole experience that much more insane. the last time I saw them was a few years back in Detroit during December. The concert hall was freezing but by the time they were halfway through their first song it felt like 1000 degrees.
i missed it unfortunately but when they played in Cardiff they had people ringing the emergency services thinking the stadium was on fire xD
i saw the, in oslo 60 000 people, way to big.
was that at the Filmore n Detroit
Love how all music brings people together. Love it!
Love this song…the vibe is killer…been on my playlist for a few yrs
This song was my intro to Rammstein and I was instantly hooked! Recommend "Engel." 🙂❤
Best concert of my life. RAMMSTEIN in Chicago 2022 in the crowd. It was everything i had hoped for. Saw them again from the stands in LA a month or so later.
I agree haha ❤ went to the one in San Antonio and it was my first Rammstein concert❤ amazing night ever
@ Strawberry Bat, I was at that show! My first Rammstein concert! A memorable one!
@@Tacodude001 sweet :D
Best reaction ever!! RAMMSTEIN is probably the best live band in the world at the moment. Thank you brothers and best wishes from Steiermari in Austria! 👍👍😊
Been to two Rammstein events 10 years apart, both times absolutely fkin awesome,
at the end of every show they put down their instruments, walk to the centre of the
stage and line up, then they take a knee in front of the crowd and bow their heads
to the people that support them. If you fancy doing another then review " Links "
The first lines of the song can have a double meaning; the phrases Du hast and Du hasst mean You have and You hate, respectively, but they are homophones (in the official German it means “you have”).
The lyrics to "Du Hast" by Rammstein are from the point of view of an ex-lover who looks back on the relationship and asks the other if he would still be as faithful and devoted to his partner if they were still together. The chorus asks the question, "Will you stay with me 'till death do us part; will you stay true to me all the days of our lives?" The "Yes No" is essentially saying that the answer is "No", suggesting that the partner is not as faithful and loyal as they once claimed. The song is a reflection on relationships that ultimately fail and the sense of disappointment in love that comes from realizing that.
Well said
The meaning is simple, you asked me, you asked me and I said nothing. Then you get the wedding vows and he say no to them
👍🏻thank you man
Genau
Danke!
I love this channel y'all a trip man real shit I feel like I'm just chilling with fam watching yall
The singer is a certified pyro-technician who puts the over the top pyrotechnics together for shows.
My grandmother got me my first Rammstein album in 1998 when I was 14, and I've been hooked for life.
Cool grandma 😎
Rammstein was my gateway to metal too 🤘 holds up 20+ years later
Sounds like something I would do lol😂
@@DoronD same thought 😆
Your grandma is a legend.
The guy walking the treadmill is killing me.😂😂😂
The keyboardist felt like he was kinda standing just there so he thought he might as well use that time to exercise. He can even control the speed of the treadmill.
@@carlitos4815 I'm with it bro, Rammstein is sick. They got a crazy strong following!!
Love this video thanks for covering RAMMSTEIN
You guys make my day , so funny 😆
Rammstein are doing lots of word plays in many of their songs.
"Du hast" (with one s) means "you have". "Du hasst" (two s) means "you hate".
"Du...du has(s)t...du has(s)t mich..." and then "Du hast mich gefragt....du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt" meaning" You asked me and I said nothing".
The song is basically about the burden of a wedding vow and about how almost impossible it is for most people to actually stick to the promises included in such a vow.
It's about the unwillingness to take on the burden of that vow and all the responsibilities that come with it.
(That's my personal interpretation though)
These guys put on such a show, that when they played a concert in Coventry 🇬🇧, they were heard 11 miles away!! 🤘🤘
Watching these boys rock out to Rammatein is amazing!
Awesome vid from them, first time i see it, ty guys.
Rammstein is arguably one of the best live bands in the world. They put on amazing pyrotechnics in their shows with amazing music. Check out more of them!
You guys, your face expressions are hilarious! 😂😂 I`m 55 years old and still headbangs to Rammstein! I have seen them live 1 time ( plans to see them again this year) and it was one of the best konserts I`ve seen, they are absolutely crazy!!! Recommend you to listen to SEHNSUCHT live in Berlin 1998. Also ICH TU DIR WEH, check out the video!. Two favorites among many! Rock on boys!! 🤘🤘🤘
RAMMSTEIN....epic.....these guitars......wonderful
Love it!regards from Portugal 🇵🇹🤟
You don’t imagine the power of the sound and the heat from pyrotechnics 👍
As a German I loved seeing you guys enjoying this ^^ Rammstein is a staple here, their shows are amazing and explosive haha 🔥🔥
and the fact they are in Paris and they all know the words too lol
@@unknownsample4801 yeah 😂👍🏻
I'm from Brazil. You're lucky to be able to see them perform live. One day... perhaps they will come down here. Or I'll fly to Germany to see them. I started to learn German because of them, Till is very easy to grasp, but baby steps...Deutsch ist verdammt schwer, aber ich werde es schaffen.
@@nixdorfbrazil you‘d be more than welcome here 🙌🏻 dein Deutsch klingt schon sehr gut, mach weiter so 👏🏻 I’ve heard from so many people that Rammstein inspired them to learn German, that’s also why they’re kind of viewed as ambassadors of the German language :) keep going, and greetings to Brazil 🇧🇷
I like all German bands Sodom, KREATOR, Scorpions etc greetings from Costa Rica 🤘🏻
You NEED to see Rammstein in concert! THEN YOU WILL FEEL EVERYTHING ❤❤❤❤
You won't even touch the floor for 2hours.
This aged poorly
@@codebene0842
Huh? WRONG
@@shellwilliams6306 watch kayla Shyx Rammstein after party Video. You'll read your comment with diffrent eyes xD.
even we germans are not 100% sure what they want to say. thats one point of the awesomenes of rammstein, great text writing. u have to read between the lines, there is a lot of interpretation!
Watching you guys trying to work this out was funny. And refreshing.
Signed: a long time Rammstein fan.
Rammstein sold out Madison Square Garden within 30 minutes of ticket release when they toured America after a long break in the early 2000s. They moved to America as a band before and toured for a long time through the US states but got kind of tired of the stress (everything by bus iirc) and homesick so they went back to Germany became big here too and then I think it was the album "Völkerball" where they made a new tour in the US.
Another thing to be amazed by: That in front of the band is a french crowd (french people are infamous for only talking with you in french) and the full place sings the German song with the band.
Man we gotta get y'all to a rock concert, they are absolutely insane. Music is music, and you could see how much all of you were rockin to this. I have seen Rammstein live overseas and they were NUQIN FUTS!!
Its hard to believe these guys have never heard of Rammstein?? They have sold over 10 Million albums worldwide, they are the single biggest band out of Germany - ever . This concert they are watching is in France, and you have thousands and thousands of French people chanting in German... That should give you some appreciation of how massive Rammstein is on the world stage.
I think the Scorpions have them beat. Most people know Eye of the Tiger and Rock you like a Hurricane. As for record sales Rammstein has sold 100 million not 10 million same as the Scorpions.
They never heard about Tarantino....
Rammstein is a little bigger act in Europe than in the US. Further, a band can sell *20* million albums worldwide while selling not a single one in the US -- something to do with more people living outside the US than in the US.
I remember rocking out to Rammstein back in the late 90s. Many garage parties on the pool table contained this group being blasted on 10 12in speakers. Y'all should have rocked out on the album version.
Yes, The underground music scene was awesome back in the 90's. None of their music got airtime in USA but they damn sure got rocked at the after parties!
Seeing Rammstein live is a surreal experience. They rarely come to the US but I’ve seen them twice. Once in Florida and last year in Texas. There is so much pyro that the first time I saw them I started looking for the fire exits during the very first song. Serious. I have video from last year where there was so much smoke in the Alamodome you could only see about 5 rows ahead of you. People always say they look dirty or sweaty but they are actually covered in fire retardant gel and if you see them in concert you will know why. You don’t need to know German to see them, just do it for the experience if you have the chance.
OMG, I LOVE WATCHING YA'LLS VIDEOS. AND I HAVEN'T HEARD RAMMSTEIN IN A MINUTE THAT SHIT GAVE GOOSEBUMPS.
i was 2 days ago at the king boudewijnstadion in belgium to see them live
best live show i ever saw. and so mutch fire
Their guitarist Richard kruspe is so underrated. He can write some killer riffs
Absolutely 💪🏻
Towards the end of Amour, Amour he plays a little, barely audible riff that makes the hairs on my arms stand on end.
I was able to see them in LA last fall. They play in open air stadiums because of the pyrotechnics. There was just so very much fire. It was awesome. I also think it's the only band where the keyboardist is crazier than the drummer. He spent most of the concert walking on a treadmill in a sparkly track suit while playing the keyboard.
Flake is the best! He wrote two really funny books as well, but im not sure if they were translated in english.
Highly recommend seeing them in concert! They put on one hell of a show! Love them cant wait for them to come back to the states!
Hello, I'm from Germany and RAMMSTEIN is a way of life, the music gets under your skin and has so many meanings that you always discover something new when you repeat it. I can only recommend the song "SONNE" to you, MEGA!
Saw them in concert a few years ago in Tampa, Florida. Best live performance I've ever seen. Look at some of their you tube videos. They are all different and very creative. I don't care what the words mean. Everyone gets the awesomeness.
Living legends...i am from Greece and see them allot of times live, amazing performers!!!👍👍🔥
These guys are amazing. love you guys..
In 1997 (at age 14) I went to one of their concerts in Ludwigshafen. Till sang "Ein Mensch brennt" (A human/person is burning), while literally being on fire (in a heat repellant suit) and being shoved through the crowd. It was insane.
They had only just started at the time. That was a once in a lifetime experience.
The wedding vows are in these lines:
"Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet, treu ihr sein, für alle Tage?" (Will you until death separates you both, be true to her for all days?" The backing choir says "Ja" (yes), but then Till says "Nein!" (no)
Later in the song it changes a bit:
Willst du bis zum Tod, der scheide, sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen?" As written, this means: "Will you until the death, which separates, love her even in bad days?"
BUT - Nouns in German are capitalized, and if you write it this way: "Willst du bis zum Tod der Scheide...", the exact same words would become: "Will you until the death of the sheath/vagina, love her even in bad days?"
English is a Germanic language, so there are a LOT of similarities in many words, and *some* of the basic grammar is still kinda similar. More complex sentences get more complex grammar. German and Old English/Anglo Saxon were much more similar, that's how far apart the languages have become. I learned German, but a lot of Asian languages are much tougher, as well as the Slavic languages (Polish, Russian, Hungarian, etc.)
I was introduced to Rammstein in about '96, saw them in concert three times, amazing show every time...
We saw Rammstein play in Denver. He sang the entire first song on fire. He also had a flame thrower. It was intense,and probably one of the most memorable shows. ICE cube played too.
I love the various degrees and styles of bangin' y'all have! \m/
I saw this band live at the o2 in London UK in 2012. Literally was a life changing experience and was the starting point on my metal music journey. Now it's a big part of my life and I go to as many metal gigs and festivals I can. This band are very important to me ❤
Been rocking to these amazing guys for years...excellent live shows!!!
Saw them last year, was an epic show, loved it🤘🤘
I am 65 and have been going to concerts since 1973. I have seen many 100's of shows over the decades. Rammstein is THE BEST live show I have ever experienced! They don't tour the US often, or extensively...the first time I saw them at Chicago Open Air Fest (2016?), it was their one and only US show that year. I have seen them 3 more times since then and I am still blown away(😜) by their performances.
If you ever get the opportunity to see them, don't hesitate...GO!🤘
This song always gives me goosebumps and their live shows are badass! Great reaction!
Same
You dudes need to see them perform their song "Feuer Frei" live! Trust me!
👆🏻 this
by the way, you might know this song, because it was in the opening scene of the movie "triple X" by Vin Diesel . The Band playing while the first spy get shot IS Rammstein
EPIC. This is one of my favorite rock songs from an epic band. And as other people have mentioned, "Du Hast" is a play on German words. It's the same word for "you have" and "you hate" so he's teasing her (you have me, you hate me--so the opposite).
This is correct. But there is a little diffrent in spelling : you have = du hast and you hate = du hasst. It sound like the same.
First you think he is singing :you hate. But he sings : you ask me
Funny thing, I have always been an insomniac, especially working on a night crew for several years, but I found, for a time, that Rammstein worked as lullaby music for me. I could put it on and be a sleep in about 2.5 songs. Unfortunately, I lived in an apartment at the time, and my neighbors complained. This was some nearly twenty years ago. But it still has a calming effect on me.
Many years ago when my mom was homeless they were trying to help her out. Truly phenomenal people!
I laughed at "Do you know who Tarantino is?" with the Kill Bill poster behind him.
Rammstein is the best live band ever! Always use pyro in their shows. Saw a few times. Last summer their show was a blast and will see them again this summer. Also amazing song are: 'deutschland', 'radio', 'ich will', 'Sonne', 'zeit', 'angst',... The lyrics are fantastic, always have a meaning or message.
Love it live..
Rammstein was at 2010 the first and only german band that the Madison square garden sell out after 20 min. As a german it is so incredibel to see how good the crowed singing the text!
Rammstein is GOLD. Love how they have deeeeeep stories in the songs, not afraid to tell history as it is etc and double meanings. LOVE. Greetings from Finland
Their concerts are an experience. Absolutely phenomenal live shows.
Fun fact: the song was also prominently featured in the movie How High. Method Man blast's the song out of a speaker while trying to get Red out of bed.
One of the best shows I have ever seen. Those guys are crazy!!!!
You guys have gotta watch more of these guys, their videos are crazy and the meaning behind some of their songs is just insane!! Great reaction!!
